I hadn’t seen this guy since… you know, the old days, and somebody just posted him, and it made me want to hear your motorsports takes that’ll get you like this

The cartoon smug medieval guy with a dozen swords pointed at his face meme

Before December 7, 2025 it used to be gauche to say that Lando Norris is a top driver. I guess that title is load-bearing huh.

So I'll follow it up with he's a top 3 driver on the grid atm, better than both Mercedes drivers.

Yeah, you know, now that points matter, they kinda slap

I kinda like stage breaks.

NASCAR leadership doesn't care about it's fans no matter how much they say.

Formula E cars are cool and I like watching them race

I think my own Monaco variant is probably “Monaco should be a time trial.”

Monaco should stay on the F1 calendar forever.

Quoted tweet

Lately I think my #1 candidate for swords in my face is “I like hybrid open-wheel race cars”

F1 drivers are the worst in the entire world, from any series, for obeying flag rules.

Scotty Mac is Ryan Briscoe v2.0

Formula One this year has been so enjoyable. The racing has been great and the new technical regs (while still in need of some tweaking) have made the races much more exciting!

I'd rather be a fan with a camera than be a pro photographer with a media vest and actual responsibilities.

Careful, dude, they’ll cancel your ass out here for not hating specific IndyCar drivers

Graham Rahal is kind of an ass but he actually has some of the best race craft in IndyCar.

Quoted tweet

Nolan Siegel is absolutely talented enough to wheel a McLaren to a championship. He’s just currently driving the wrong kind of McLaren for that

Quoted tweet

Lol I do not condone this take, but I support the right to take it

There’s nothing special about F1. The majority of professional level race car drivers are capable of winning F1 races and championships given experience and the right car.

Senna is a one of the greats, no doubt. However I dont think he can be said to be the 🐐. That battle belongs with Lewis/Michael.

Quoted tweet

monaco does NOT in fact suck, instead it is one of the best races on the calendar

Quoted tweet

Oh my, that sure is a take

If your actions cause another racer to DNF, you should be scored behind them, even if you can continue. Recent example: RHR and Katherine Legge.

Quoted tweet

I’ll die with you on that. Well, maybe not the 4 cylinder part

I like the technical regulations for f1 atm. I thinking energy management is genuinely interesting and the battery component should be less constrained. My ideal reg set is 4cyl 1.6l turbo with any amount of battery and deployment. Then relaxing aero around the wheels.

If the thing you love about motorsports is THE DRIVING, it is hard to argue with this

Rallying is a more fun motorsport to watch than anything else in racing.

Also the most fun to play in sim.

I am wondering if Gen4 is still going to be good at Monaco

The central event at Monaco should be Formula E; + F1 should go back to Spa instead for that space on the schedule.

I wonder if his contract says he can’t wreck SVG
